A bit off topic, however, my husband use to be a professional photographer and one day I went out into the reception area to bring in his next client. I happily announced to her with a big smile “You can come in now, my husband is ready to shoot you.” Her mouth dropped open, she started to panic and made a mad dash to get out the door!
I was in shock with how she reacted. I know many people don’t like getting their pictures taken but thought this reaction was quite over the top! I suddenly realized how she took what I had said to her and started to panic myself because I realized I had scared the living daylights out of this poor woman out! Needless to say I was able to stop her and explain what I REALLY meant!
After catching her breath, calming down and much laughter the three of us had over what I said, the photo “shoot” turned out to be a great success.
